Body/Headshots: Kim Gordon Is Going to Be on HBO's 'Girls'
Sonic Youth founder and Body/Head vocalist reveals season three guest spot
Kim Gordon will guest-star on an upcoming episode of HBO's Girls. The Sonic Youth co-founder confirmed her involvement with Lena Dunham's twentysomething-centric character study during a recent interview with Slate. Gordon, who previously appeared on an episode of Gossip Girl with the rest of Sonic Youth in 2009, offered no specifics about the role she'll be playing or when the episode will air, but the third season of Girls is expected to premiere in January 2014.
First, though, Gordon will release a brand new album with Body/Head, her collaborative project with free-noise guitarist Bill Nace. The duo's Coming Apart recently earned high praise from SPIN and is set to drop on September 10 via Matador Records. (Fans can also stream the entire full-length, which features the squall-symphony "Actress," for a limited time.)
Body/Head, like two other Sonic Youth-affiliated acts, are planning to tour the U.S. this fall, with a handful of gigs lined up for the next few weeks. One such performance will happen at this year's The New Yorker Festival on October 5. Scheduled to take place in Manhattan, the event will include a talk between Gordon and writer Alex Halberstadt.
And, as if all this wasn't enough, the multi-faceted Ms. Gordon will be honored with a two-night benefit concert series at Issue Project Room, a performance center located in Brooklyn. The showcase will pay tribute to her lengthy career not just as an alt-rock icon, but also as a visual artist, fashion designer, producer, and, yes, actress. Booked for November 13 and 14, the program will find the 60-year-old legend performing alongside several of her past collaborators, including Bill Nace, Ikue Mori, and Jutta Koether, with more to be announced.

A great variation to Cheese Fondue. Onions. garlic. capsicums and tomatoes are sauteed and then milk and cheese is added to make a nice thick rich fondue. Jalapenos add a good spice to it. Serve with cut hard top bread pieces or pieces of French bread.
This is a perfect recipe to serve for a party...It is unusual, cheesy and has a tinge of spiceness..

Coud is a member of the Red Lynx sky pirates, though not very skilled or respected due to his youth. He is a struggling boy trying to become boss of the Red Lynx.
Coud first appears on the Red Lynx Pirate Ship during a raid on some aristocrat. Coud attempts to help raid, but by the time her bursts into the ship and makes a fool of himself the Red Lynx crew and Boss have already cleared the place out. Coud in embarrassment leaves the meeting room on the Red Lynx Ship after being humiliated by the crew and Boss, only finding himself searching through the treasure they just gathered. Coud finds a strange coffin and taking a seal out of the box and throwing it, thus awakening to what the thinks is just a mannequin, but is really a very powerful edel raid, The Shichiko-hoji. Once awakened she tells Coud that she hates humans, but just then the ship is attacked and Cou protects her from the Edel Raid Complete Protection Agency. The members that came aboard were Cisqua, Rowen, and Kuea. After they bribe cou for Reverie Metherlance (Shichiko-hoji), Coud tells them they "make him sick" for trying to "buy her like an object". They are attacked again, but by a different agency also wanting to get their hands on Reverie Metherlance for themselves. The second agency is later exposed as Chaos Choir. After Coud telling Reverie that "He just wants to be with her", and "is drawn towards her lonelyness" because he is just like her without a family Reverie reacts with Coud enabling Coud to use her as a weapon (like all Edel Raids can). After warding off Chaos Choir and saving Reverie their ship falls to the ground and Coud asks her her name and she replys with Reverie Metherlance and he just ends up naming her Ren. Ren and Coud then start a quest to go to Edel Garden, a place where Edel Raids were supposedly born and is technologically advanced. Cisqua then insists and forces herself along with Rowen and Kuea to go with them. Their story continues from their leading up to more captures, protections, agencies, and finally Edel Garden.

" Perhaps you own your own business, you have a flexible workplace arrangement or you are a domestic engineer. Share with us your thoughts and experiences on working from home. "
* Prices may differ from that shown
Why did I look for a work from home job?
I had to leave my previous job due to me been pregnant with my twins, I am not the sort of person who likes to be out of work. Since I left school I have always been in work. But when my twins came along life did get pretty busy. But I did miss the money I used to get from working.
So I decided to try and get a job somewhere, although I was not sure what I could do with 2 young children in tow. Then I found the perfect job where I could work from home on a permanent basis. This would be ideal as I could work round the children and work hours that suited me.
The job did sound too good to be true and for some reason my now ex-husband thought it was some sort of scam, I did not think so and thought I might as well apply for nothing. If I am honest I did not expect to get the job as I had no previous experience. But I would never know if I did not at least try.
After a few months though it did seem like just a pipe dream, as I heard nothing back from the company. However 6 months later I got a phone call requesting me to log in for a trial, which yes I jumped at, I was getting bored now as the kids were getting older and was too busy playing to help keep me occupied too. So I went for the hours trial, and it was nerve racking knowing that you had someone watching you although it was over a computer it is still nerve racking.
After my hours trial I was told there an then that I had the job and was given my start date. Having waited 6 months I was elated to be finally back in work, but as you can imagine, 6 months is a long time to wait so they do get lots of applicants, so it can be pretty hard to get into.
How long have I worked from home
I have now worked for the company for 4 and a half years, so the 6 month wait was well worth it.
What do I do
I am what they call a CM which stands for chat moderator. I basically contact the CM who is already in the room I am due to go in, this is to make sure there has been no problems in the room with any players, or any technical problems.
I then log into the chat room, and take the other CM off. Then basically for the duration of my shift I talk to players in the room, and in some rooms play chat games with them. This seems to keep the players happy as they get free money should they win a chat game.
We have to make sure that all players stick to the chat guidelines and remain polite to other people in the room playing. And yes we do get a few problem players now and again. Should this happen we then have a tool which is used to remove a player from chat so that they can no longer talk in the chat room.
Each of our chat rooms are moderated with a CM and we try our best to make each players visit as nice and fun as possible. We have quite a few regulars who will just come in for a chat and to see how everyone is.
That's basically all there is to it, sounds really simple yes, but it can get pretty stressful, especially if you are in a really busy room, where chat is really fast and you get loads of different players asking you questions, it can sometimes be hard to keep up with. But it is fun I prefer to be busy and that's what our job is about, been able to chat, answer questions and help in whatever way we can.
Communicating with colleagues
To communicate with other CM's we use the basic function of MSN, we can get all the information we need through there that we need to be able to do our job properly. Probably the only downside is you don't get to meet your colleagues in person. Although I have met quite a few when we have all met up and gone for a works night out.
What I like about working from home
* No travel expenses.
* Can pick hours to suit.
* Still get to spend time with your family.
* No childcare costs.
* Can watch TV while you work.
* Food and drink when ever you want.
* Only on for hours worked instead of also traveling time.
What I don't like about working from home
* No outside contact with people.
* Can get a bit boring at times.
* Don't get to meet your colleagues.
* Use more gas and electric.
Meeting my colleagues
I have met some of my colleagues twice now, which granted is not much to say how long I have worked there, but you have to remember we do have people who work all over the place, we even have a few from Spain America, Australia ect. But they also come from all over this country too, so it is harder to arrange a good night out, and a city has to be picked too. So far I have been to London for the weekend, for a Christmas party, and also to Blackpool for my bosses hen night.
Both times were great to finally meet some of the people I worked with but is very costly too. So in hindsight when you do work in a normal job you have to go out for, these nights out are take for granted and will happen more frequently, so I suppose this can be another downside too.
Tax rebate for working from home
I have recently found out that if you have no choice about working from home, then you get a tax rebate of £3 a week, which granted is not a lot but every little helps. This is amended in your tax code. Although the tax office do not tell you about the rebate you can get. I have done my job for so long and did not even know, so I am now in the process of claiming the back pay, which I can claim for the full amount of time that I have been working from home.
They pay this to you to help towards house hold bills, and once mine have gone through I am sure I will appreciate the £3 a week off my tax each week. It does not sound a lot but over the full year it does work out at £156 a year so it is well worth claiming, although it is a hassle to get the claim sorted as I had to send forms off then they wanted my contract too. But after that you don't have to claim again.
Would I change my job
Now that would depend if I was offered one that paid loads of money loll. Our wages are not great but above minimum wage, although we are not allowed to discuss what we get. At the moment though I am happy in my job, and don't think I will be changing it any time in the near future.
What rules we have to abide by in the chat room
* We all have CM names and are not allowed to disclose our real name.
* Not allowed to give out too much personal information about ourselves.
* Must make sure we are polite at all times.
* Know the rules of the site, any promotions and anything players may need to know.
My overall opinion
I love the job I do, lets face it after over 4 years of been there it must be good loll. It can be a lonely job without having colleagues there to talk to, but typing can be just as good as talking. I always have the warmth of my own home, can adjust my heating when I get too cold or too warm.
I am not my own boss by any means, and yes I could lose my job at anytime, if I did not do it right, but I don't have someone looking over my shoulder and breathing down my neck all the time, they can watch you in the chat room, and pull up chat logs to ensure you are doing a good job, but you are not aware of any of this, so you don't feel like you are getting pressured.
It took me 6 months to get into this job, but it was worth the long wait, and they do get applicants all the time, several a day, so there will always be a waiting list. But I would recommend working from home to anyone. Like any job it does have its disadvantages, but the advantages more than outweigh them.

The Canadian Press - ONLINE EDITION
Forget hair-pulling among Miss World contestants; host Indonesia provides its own drama
JAKARTA, Indonesia - Beauty queens and backstage drama may seem inevitable, but at this year's Miss World competition, something more serious than hair-pulling and name-calling has come from host country Indonesia: Muslim hardliners have threatened to hijack the competition despite major concessions from the government and organizers.
The bikinis that have been a pageant hallmark were replaced with more conservative sarongs three months ago, after a small but vocal group complained that showing too much skin would be offensive to the world's more populous Muslim country. But that only temporarily quieted protests over the event, which holds its internationally televised finale on Saturday.
The Islamic Defenders Front, known for angry protests and violent raids on bars and prostitution dens, began holding demonstrations weeks ago with thousands displaying signs that read: "Miss World is Whore Contest" and "Miss World Go to Hell." More mainstream groups, including an influential Islamic body, joined in and called for the show to be banned.
Then just three weeks ago, the government announced that the final would be moved from the outskirts of the capital, Jakarta, and instead held on the Hindu-dominated resort island of Bali where earlier rounds were taking place.
The organizers were left bewildered and panicked, having just three weeks to rearrange an event that had been three years in the making. Hundreds of hotel rooms and 6,000 plane tickets had to be cancelled and rebooked, and a new venue secured.
And even now, concern remains that Muslim extremists may try to disrupt the event. The British, Australian and U.S. embassies have issued warnings to citizens planning trips to Bali during the competition, saying there could be large-scale protests or even attacks.
Haidar Al-Hamid, who heads the East Java branch of the Islamic Defenders Front, said that despite tight security aimed in part at keeping protesters out of Bali, he plans to rally against the Miss World contest and has ordered all members to find a way to reach the nearby island.
Miss World is the latest controversy in Indonesia, a Southeast Asian country of 240 million where most Muslims follow a moderate form of the religion. After emerging from decades of dictatorship 15 years ago, it has been hailed by the international community as a place where Islam and democracy can work successfully side-by-side.
Young people flock to popular nightclubs, and it's common to see women in the capital wearing miniskirts and halter tops alongside those dressed in colorful headscarves and skinny jeans. Earlier this month, as it hosted the Islamic Solidarity Games, Indonesia resisted calls from other participating countries to ban female athletes from wearing two-piece sports bikinis.
Many Indonesians say they are proud that the next Miss World will win her crown and sash in their country.
"It's good for Indonesia to host such a pageant. We can tell the world what our country is like. They can see the hospitality of our people ... for me, this is a positive thing for Indonesia," said Tony, 38, who works at a private bank in Jakarta and uses only one name like many Indonesians. "Everyone is now free to voice their opinions more openly. Although we do not agree with (the protesters), we cannot ban them."
At the same time, a small extremist fringe has become louder and more violent in recent years, attacking Christians and other religious minorities, along with anyone else deemed immoral.
The Islamic Defenders Front, known as FPI, is a moral defender group that forbids such things as drinking, gambling, prostitution and pornography. And while the government has recently condemned the group's violent acts, Jakarta is hesitant to push too hard a year ahead of presidential elections.
The hardliners forced Lady Gaga to cancel a sold-out show last year after they branded her a "devil worshipper." Aerosmith also abruptly pulled the plug on a May concert, citing security concerns, days after a bomb plot against the Myanmar Embassy was revealed. Jennifer Lopez performed in the capital, but the sexy singer covered up and toned down her racy dance moves.
Hary Tanoesoedibjo, head of Miss World sponsor MNC media group, said the government's decision to move the pageant venue is a mistake that creates a negative impression for the 131 countries represented in the pageant.
"The decision was changed so quickly just because of pressure from a certain group," the billionaire said at a news conference. "We are worried this will create the perception that we are a weak nation."
He said the forced move could tarnish Indonesia's reputation and perhaps even affect foreign investment. The country is already struggling with rampant graft, poor infrastructure, high inflation and a weak local currency.
Bali will be in the spotlight not only for Miss World, but for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit that will be held there a week later. World leaders, including President Barack Obama, and thousands of delegates are scheduled to attend. Any hiccups involving Miss World will likely raise doubts about Indonesia's ability to oversee the meeting's security.
"There's a very real potential for violence at either event," said Damien Kingsbury, an Indonesia expert at Deakin University in Australia. "Having the Indonesians focusing on two events is going to divide their resources in ways which I think probably aren't going to be entirely helpful."
Bali also was the site of the 2002 suicide bombings that killed 202 people, mostly foreign tourists. Since then, the government has aggressively pursued militant groups, which in recent years have committed much smaller-scale attacks mainly focused on security personnel.
This is not the first time the British-based Miss World, which started as a bikini contest in 1951, has faced opposition from Muslims. In 2002, contestants were forced to leave Nigeria after religious riots trigged by the contest exploded inside the country, leaving some 100 people dead and hundreds injured. The competition was instead held in London.
But Indonesia does not want to come across as totally anti-pageant. Last week, Jakarta hosted the third annual World Muslimah contest, an Islamic alternative to Western-influenced international beauty pageants.
It was broadcast live and showcased women from six countries reciting the Qur'an and saying prayers. Contestants wore high heels, long shapeless frocks in bright colours and matching headscarves — mandatory to participate — adorned with shimmering sequins and accessories.
The candidates marched through the streets of Jakarta ahead of the event in their sashes without harassment from the same groups who claim that parading women on stage goes against Islamic teachings. The finalists, chosen for being smart, pious and stylish, competed for $2,200 plus a trip to Mecca.
Miss Nigeria won. And in a moment universal to pageants, she cried and shook as the glittering tiara was placed atop her head.

Haha, ya i hear ya.
With Begins, it's more accurate to the contemporary version of the character but even the, really lacked the Gothic aspects of the character and of Gotham City though I think that's because Begins was going for more of the feel of Batman Year One.
With Kilmer, while he didn't have as blatant a billionaire persona, he was pretty much on par with Keaton on that role. Also, he also had Darkness to him, but it was more restrained and reserved because of the events of Burton's movies. Kilmer's Bruce had matured from the previous movies, hence why he doesn't kill anymore along with him trying to distance himself from women as Batman.
With Batman, neither are close to the comics in terms of faithfulness compared to other comic properties.

Many at Foyles feel that 2014 been a very good year for fiction and our customers seem to agree, with big leaps in sales in all our branches. Our web editor, Jonathan Ruppin, looks at why this might be, selects his top titles and explains why Dutch novelist Peter Buwalda's Bonita Avenue is his book of the year.
You've probably heard of the writer Franz Kafka; but what about Hans Kafka? No? Well, there's a reason for that...

MISSOULA — The University of Montana and Missoula police issued a campuswide alert Wednesday afternoon for Kevin Briggs, a suspect in an assault and rape in Bozeman.
Briggs escaped custody of the Bozeman police and might be in Missoula, according to the alert.
"UM and Missoula law enforcement ask you to be on the lookout for him," the alert said.
Briggs is described as 28 years old, 5 feet 5 inches tall, medium build, 150 pounds, brown hair, blue eyes.
Bozeman police say Briggs also has gone by these names: Amiee Macintire, James Zenon Meismer.
Briggs was reported to have been on probation, having previously been convicted for kidnapping and raping a girl in Helena in early 2003, and convicted of escape in Lewis and Clark County in 2003 and in Powell County in 2004.
He was in custody in Bozeman in another rape and assault case when he escaped from the Gallatin County Courthouse.
According to Missoula Police Sgt. Travis Welsh, "The Missoula Police Department is currently investigating the possibility that Bozeman escapee Kevin Briggs may have been in the Missoula area this past weekend. We are asking that if anyone observes a subject they believe to be Briggs, please call 9-1-1; do not attempt to approach him or contact him, but rather maintain sight of him while conveying information to the emergency operator."
Call 911 if you have information about him.

When we started seeing reviews on this wine a few years ago, we thought that this was one of the coolest names for a wine because, like the Shakespear inspiration from which it came, it worked on many levels. Most importantly, this creative collaboration between Dunham Cellars Senior Winemaker, Eric Dunham, and actor Kyle MacLachlan works in the glass. We have been long supporters of Washington reds anyway (we sold Leonetti in the late 80s), it's good to have something that is serious but clearly doesn't take itself too seriously. Over 90 from Wine Spectator in every vintage reviewed.
Harvey Steiman writes in Wine Spectator: "Smooth and velvety, this is a ripe expression of black currant, blackberry and espresso notes, shaded by hints of sage and mint. The finish plays easily against refined tannins, showing enough acidity for freshness. Best from 2014 through 2019. 412 cases made."

We've seen them in stores, but the salespeople weren't too enthusiastic about them, saying these tubs tend to leak. Are they really all bad? One of the bathrooms in our house will be used by the grandparents, who (grandma, especially) would find it much easier to get into the tub without stepping over the regular tub's wall. Leaking will not, actually, be a big deal for us, because we are getting the floor-traps in the bathrooms (water on the floor will just drain down instead of staying a puddle). Any other drawbacks to having these? A particular maker you like, if you have such a tub yourself? Thanks! doofus |

No direct experience using them, but I have sold a few to customers redoing baths for elderly relatives. The American Standard brand is the one most often chosen, because it's a few dollars cheaper than others, and it can be ordered direct from me rather than from a company that is high pressure direct buy. The Safety Tub brand has had some issues, and the company hasn't been that helpful in resolving them for the customers--and this is before install. I no longer recommend that brand due to the unresponsiveness from the manufacturer. These are not shower/tub combos. They are for tubs only, and you will still need a separate shower stall. They are also pretty heftily priced. 5K & up. I recommend that the optional heater be purchased to keep the water warm. My customers report good experiences with the American Standard brand, although several report that they had plumbers that were very leary of them and one who downright refused to install so they had to get another company. I've not had any customer report any problems of leaking once installed. Most are very happy to be able to offer a tub experience to their relative when they had long since given up on that. One lady even offered to sell the "spa experience" to folks who were considering buying one so people could see how useful and comfortable it was for themselves! |

My 85 year old mom just moved in, so my powder bath is being converted mid-remodel from decorative to functional for her. She's lusting after one, but a contractor specializing in handicap accessible modifications said the same things as you noted: they're pricey, they leak, and they're ugly. Thus, I've added grab bars to the shower and she will have a portable shower seat. |

Bumping this up for new poster on same question. |
doofus, when I first saw these I thought what a great idea. Then I thought about it. You'd have to get IN the tub and close the door before you fill it. Okay. That's all right. The warm water feels great going in. But wait a minute - you can't get OUT until all the water has drained! Wouldn't you feel cold waiting for the water to drain? And you can't use a towel before then because it would get soaked! I don't think I'd like it at all. |
I was going to post the same thing sameboat just did! Having to wait for the water to fill up then waiting for it to drain back out of that tall space would be a pain after a while. |

I guess it also depends on how slowly your tub drains. I mean really, is it the tub's issue or your plumbing? My tubs drain extremely fast. We're talking a matter of minutes here. |

For my fathrer-in-law with Alzheimer's, it was too much of a novelty. Never used. |
My great grandmother had one installed, and she seemed to like it a lot. As long as you have plenty of thick rugs right on the outside, you will be fine. |
Well I can suggest you walk-in tubs from Safeguard Tubs, they quite good if you wanna give your elderly person an independent and assistance free bathing experience. Try them out !! |
Walk-in tubs for elderly has become more of an necessity than for luxury item. They need more of attention and comfort when it comes to bathing. While selecting also for a walk-in tub, one must be assured that it has anti-slip flooring and proper safety bars installation. Some good options coming in the market are from Safeguard Tubs catering to elderly customers. |

Connaught Tunnel refurbishment complete ahead of Crossrail track works
A Victorian tunnel in east London has been renovated as it prepares to become part of the Crossrail train system.
The Connaught Tunnel, built in 1878, has been widened and strengthened over three years.
It will form a 550m stretch of track for the cross-London transport link when it opens in 2018.
Photos showing the tunnel in 2010 before the works began
Coal and soot has also been scrubbed from the walls of the tunnel, which runs below the Royal Docks, near Excel and London City Airport.
The link was built to accommodate the docks and survived a bombing in the Second World War.
The tracks, overhead cables and communications systems will be put in place next year.
Work being undertaken at the tunnel, which took three years
Linda Miller, Connaught Tunnel Project Manager said: "It's great to know that, thanks to our work, this 135 year old tunnel will once again have a vital role to play in London's transport network.
"Once Crossrail opens in 2018, up to 12 trains an hour will pass through the tunnel beneath the Royal Docks, hugely improving links between southeast London and the rest of the capital."
Steel rings were removed from the ceiling of the tunnel

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes Divorce: Was There a Marriage Contract?
A Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes pre-nup? A virtual given. A "marriage contract" based on Cruise's religion, Scientology, that specifies Holmes' lifestyle and post-divorce payout milestones, in painstaking detail? It appears to be a dubious claim.
Cruise and Holmes' supposed "marriage contract" has dogged the couple since their 2006 wedding. Its extreme details, according to the story fueled by lower-end tabloids, included keeping Holmes on a tight leash, limiting her clothing spending and detailing cash payouts for the number of children she had with Cruise.
The so-called "marriage contract" was Scientology-mandated and required Holmes, 33, to stay married to Cruise, 49, for a total of three or seven years.
Almost six years into their union, it's over. Was this all part of the plan from the moment they met in 2005?
Cruise's attorney Bert Fields told PEOPLE magazine in 2009 that the story was "a pack of lies" and an "absolute fabrication." Fields successfully muzzled any legitimacy of a Scientology marriage contract -- casting doubts on its truthfulness.
There appears to be little, if any, evidence of such a marriage contract -- beyond a traditional pre-nup. Field experts cast doubts on its existence.
"I have actually negotiated [pre-nups] for celebrity Scientologists and have never heard of a Scientology contract -- usually they have the same provisions as any other [pre-nup]," celebrity family attorney Lisa Helfend Meyer tells Celebuzz.
Meyer's firm, Meyer, Olson, Lowy & Meyers, LLP, handled Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom's pre-nup -- and currently represent Kelly Rutherford in her contentious divorce proceedings with ex-husband Daniel Giersch.
"I would be shocked to learn if Tom didn't have a [pre-nup], given his wealth," Meyer says. "I would also be very surprised to learn that they already haven't resolved everything before the news of their split broke. They are both surrounded by media-savvy people. All their dirty laundry would have been dealt with before the news of their demise hit the newsstand."
Sources close to the church of Scientology echo to Celebuzz the same sentiment -- a marriage contract does not exist in Scientology.
"There are no Scientology-specific contracts of any kind related to marriage," a longtime Scientology member says. "When I got married nearly 40 years ago in a Scientology ceremony, we pledged our fidelity 'throughout our future years.'"
People familiar with Cruise and Holmes' marriage have reportedly said there is indeed a pre-nup agreement. It likely will determine financial terms based on how long the couple were married (six years). Standard rules for marriage prenups designate payouts in yearlong or five-year increments. Holmes, who is worth a fraction of Cruise's hundreds of millions, will likely stand to receive large payouts.
Details will likely emerge in coming weeks as to how much Holmes will receive, how much and if there are limits, as well as custody arrangements. Holmes filed for sole custody of their 6-year-old daughter, Suri.
While Scientology appears to have been a point of difference between the couple -- Holmes was raised Catholic in Ohio -- a Scientology-mandated contract looks unlikely.
Scientology is known as a religion don't view divorce with the same stigma of other religions.
"Marriage in Scientology is viewed as a strictly present-life 'contract,'" a Scientologist source says. "There is no stigma to divorce. It's quite common."
Cruise and Fields' ire has focused on one converted Scientologist turned blogger, Mark "Marty" Rathbun. The estranged devotee of the faith is known for being highly skeptical and critical of the church's motives on his website. Fields slapped Rathbun, who has also published a book questioning Scientology, with a cease-and-desist legal letter in 2009.
"It is neither appropriate nor lawful for you to refer to yourself online, in the media or elsewhere as Tom's auditor. I would like to avoid taking action over this, so please stop," Fields wrote in the letter to Rathbun, who posted it on his website.
Rathbun's site claims to detail specifics of how the family's assistants are paid informants to Scientology officials. (Details are relatively scarce.) Because Cruise's life has been mapped out by religious officials, the site says, Holmes' life, by association, has been controlled, as well. Rathbun implicates a church official associate of Cruise's, David Miscavige, as meddling in Cruise and Holmes' marriage.
"Scientology Inc's supreme leader David Miscavige (Cruise's best man at his wedding) has infiltrated the Cruise household and used personal assistants and family members to serve as informants on every aspect of Cruise's personal life," Rathbun wrote in a blog post dated June 30, 2012.

Dual iframe loading, or after load - refresh another into separate iframe target
Here's the basic layout of my site:
Horizontal navigation bar
sub-navigation bar
iframe content box
My presumed navigation would have the user click an image in the top Horizontal navbar, which would then load a list of subdirectories and choices in the sub-navigation bar.
I can do that - I'm there so far.
What I've been rummaging around the internet for the past few hours in search of, is -any- kind of code to, after the sub-navigation bar has loaded, to ALSO load a -separate- page into the -separate- iframe content box.
(To further break it down if needed, this is what happens with normal iframes)
Loading the page:
further information/sub-navigation
content box
(littlepage loaded) further information
content box stays the same
What I want, is after the first page is loaded into the subnavigation, to also load something in the content box, so I have a sub-nav bar, and more info on that sub-nav bar.
Thanks ahead of time, and my apologies if I was not concise enough. I'll do my best to respond to any questions aimed at me.

Initially published under the pseudonym Currer Bell in 1847, Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre erupted onto the English literary scene, immediately winning the devotion of many of the world's most renowned writers, including William Makepeace Thackeray, who declared it a work "of great genius."
Widely regarded as a revolutionary novel, Brontë's masterpiece introduced the world to a radical new type of heroine, one whose defiant virtue and moral courage departed sharply from the more acquiescent and malleable female characters of the day.
Passionate, dramatic, and surprisingly modern, Jane Eyre endures as one of the world's most beloved novels. This Modern Library Paperback Classics edition includes newly written explanatory notes.
"At the end we are steeped through and through with the genius, the vehemence, the indignation of Charlotte Brontë."
--Virginia Woolf

Ever wanted a brightly colored pair of Nikes sporting a portrait of your dog, your kid or your favorite athlete?
Look no farther than Basking Ridge, NJ, where Yoa Kustoms will do exactly that -- custom design and hand paint your very own one-of-a-kind kicks. The Parsons-trained designer will put anything you want on your feet. The sneaker gallery on YK's site shows shoes painted with everything from abstracts to maps to cartoon characters to Eli Manning.
Shoot her an email with your shoe size, design idea and the kind of shoe you want. She prefers paint on with Nike Dunks (more space to work with) but she'll work with anything -- the website also shows Chucks and Vans (including a pair painted with the Virgin Mary).
All of YK's sneaks are coated with leather protector and come with a certificate of authenticity to let you know that your feet are truly unique. She'll even do repairs for free -- just pay the shipping costs. So go on, come up with the loudest, tackiest, most colorful design you can think of and -- in only a week -- have it custom painted on your shoes. (Photo credit www.kicksonfire.com )

Please help!! My husband used a broadcast spreader to apply weed and feed to our lawn a week ago. My mini (ground cover) roses are now yellowing. I am afraid that they were hit with overspray. Any suggestions to counteract the effect? |
Follow-Up Postings:
The "feed" part won't hurt anything, it's just fertilizer. But the "weed" part is a problem. Check the package and see what it is. If it's a pre-emergent, like Preen, you're probably OK. If it's a weed killer, like Round Up, then you could have trouble. Water, water, water! You want to try and dilute it as much as possible and get it to dissipate down through the soil away from the roots. You may see some peculiar or distorted growth as a result too but it should go away with some time. |

This is pencil is BEAST....
This is pencil is BEAST. This silver finished Rotring is much smoother than it's
matte black counterpart. The pencil is heavy yet balanced, and the grip gives
maximum control (although it is a bit smaller than I can stand to use for more
than a couple hours). Otherwise, this is a beautiful pencil that looks like a
dentist tool.

I meant to say that The platinum pro-use II looks much thicker than my rotring's

of the silver .35 rotring.

I have the .35 mm Rotring...
I have the .35 mm Rotring 600 in black and silver. One thing to note is that the
finish on the silver Rotring is much smoother. Also, the my black knurled grip
tends to get noticeably dirtier than the silver grip, although this is a minor
nuance. The pencil itself is very solid with little play. I've even taken a lit
match to the body of both Rotrings (don't ask).
It is by far the heaviest writing utensil I own, and I wish the grip was a bit thicker. I find my hand cramping a bit after extended use.....like the Platinum Pro-Use II which I just ordered. Otherwise, this pencil is very cool yet professional looking, and should be great for drafting. Personally, I've used it for detailed Japanese and math work. I don't even bother with the tiny eraser, as the Mitsubishi boxy eraser does an amazing job. Overall, this pencil is clean and modern with some serious craftmanship...I'm hoping to compare it to the Steadtler 925 and Platinum Pro-Use II very soon. In other words, you should probably get it. |

Panasonic opened an eco-ideas house in Tokyo to showcase energy efficient appliances. Throughout the house, designed to aid natural ventilation and cut down on air conditioning, there are LED lights that use much less power than existing incandescent bulbs and last longer than current fluorescent models. To cut down on heating and cooling costs, Panasonic has lined the walls of the house with a thin and efficient insulator called U-Vacua that was originally developed for use in Panasonic appliances such as refrigerators and kettles. The lights, power, heating, and other gadgets all sit on a high-tech in-house network, at the center of which is the living room TV, offering a portal into the house's energy needs. On a single screen a user can monitor gas, water and electricity usage and see how much power is coming from the solar panels and fuel cells, the status of the accumulator battery, and the amount of power being drawn from the grid. A second screen provides details about the status of the environmental control systems in each room. For example, one can check the temperature of the living room air-conditioning and see if the floor heating in the bedroom is on or off. The aim of the energy-saving house is to be carbon neutral in energy usage and a third screen provides a comparison between energy creation and usage to give you an overall look at how well you're doing. While some of the technology might be futuristic, consumers shouldn't have to wait too long until such a house is possible for real, says Panasonic. It was designed with an eye 3 to 5 years in the future.

The most reliable way to lose weight and keep it off? Consume fewer calories and get more exercise.
You've served the nation and maybe you're thinking about heading back to school to start the next chapter of your career. Colleges are there to help you, right? Hmm, not so fast. Not every school has got your back. Some for-profit schools may care more about boosting their bottom line with your VA education benefits. Some may even stretch the truth to persuade you to enroll, either by pressuring you to sign up for courses that don't suit your needs or to take out loans that will be a challenge to pay off. In 2010, the Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Education (ED) said that 70% of the agency's current fraud investigations were focused on for-profit schools.
Do you send money to friends or family overseas? Or to a business? If so, as of right now, you have the power: to shop around, to make informed decisions, to cancel (OK, that power only lasts for 30 minutes, but it's something), and to know where to complain.
Maybe you're picking up paper plates for a party, or ready to bag some leaves in your yard. If a package says a product is biodegradable, compostable or recyclable you might opt to make the "greener" choice, right? That's why it's important those environmental labels tell the real story.

I know this question has been asked a bunch and I think I know the answer. Just wanted some reassurance from you all. I am a daylily lover and not really positive in my knowledge of tulips.
So I purchased some beautiful red tulips that are tipped in gold. I received them in early November and put them into the garage till I got a day to plant them. Come mid to late January I FINALLY remembered all those beautiful bulbs still out in the garage. They were kept in their white bag (with holes) back behind my husbands tool box the entire time. Since it was the back of the garage it rarely got any sunlight even when the door was open. We did have a rather cold winter for us. Several times it got down to the low teens. There were two types of tulips that we forgotten. The pink ones are already starting to come up.
Lots of info for ya'll. I'm thinking they will be fine just a later blooming tulip than the pinks. What do ya'll think? Thanks,
Follow-Up Postings:
I'm thinking they will be fine just a later blooming tulip than the pinks. What do ya'll think? I'm with you and am optimistic that they will just emerge later since they have only been in the ground for about 4-6 weeks. If you think of it, please keep us posted. Sue |
I believe most bulbs will take time to develop a root system after they're planted, so don't fret... they may pop up yet, and perhaps they are simply a later blooming variety. I just potted up some daffys I forgot about last fall... they're beginning to sprout, but I think they'll probably throw some energy into rooting before growing too much above the soil. If it works, it works... if not, oh well. I tried! |
Good news for me....those tulips are starting to come up. I'm so excited and glad that my forgetfulness didn't ruin them. Yay for spring! Jennie E |
how about Nepeta (catmint)? Cultural Notes: Maintenance: Most Nepetas will rebloom if sheared back after their initial flowering. Some won't provide much of a second show, but their foliage will be refreshed and tidied by the shearing. Division is not a requirement, but if you'd like more plants, Nepeta responds well to division in the spring. |
Nevermind. I responded to the wrong post. LOL |

Dale skipper eyes Cherries clash
The midfielder aggravated a hamstring strain earlier this month which forced him to miss the defeat against Accrington Stanley. He told the club's website: "When we played Grimsby I really felt it and knew I had no option but to come off. I've had some rest and treatment and I'm back in for training with the lads on Tuesday. "I am hoping I'll be fit and available for selection on Saturday, we will just have to see how this week goes. I feel okay and the hamstring isn't causing me any concern after going through a tough test on Monday. "I need to train on it this week and see how things go but I'm quietly confident I'll be ready for selection."

A good old-fashioned potluck can eliminate a lot of stress, but even a bring-your-favorite-dish get-together takes a little foresight to pull off, says Judy Toth, a cooking instructor in Mesa who's a fan of potlucks.
Hosting a party is a lot of fun, but it can also be expensive and time-consuming.
Planning a menu, shopping and cooking can take days.
A good old-fashioned potluck can eliminate a lot of stress, but even a bring-your-favorite-dish get-together takes a little foresight to pull off, says Judy Toth, a cooking instructor in Mesa who's a fan of potlucks.
"I ask people to let me know what type of food they are going to bring," she says. "That will assure that I don't get all desserts or all salads."
Find out from your guests if you will need to provide a way to keep food warm, refrigerated or frozen.
"Often I pull out every crockpot I can find to help keep food warm," she says. "And nothing is worse than someone bringing a frozen dessert to a potluck where there's not room in the freezer to store it till dinner."
Another tip: Plan potluck dishes that are easy to eat.
"You know, the ones that do not require a third hand," she says.
Toth made one of her favorite potluck recipes for At Home, an Inside Out Ravioli Casserole.
"I like to use this casserole for a potluck because both kids and adults like it," she says. It's also a flexible recipe, allowing you to adapt to different tastes.
"You can make it with or without spinach, with or without meat," she says. "It is very easy to make, and I usually have all the ingredients on hand."
It also freezes and reheats well — if there are leftovers.
Inside Out Ravioli Casserole
Yield: 4 to 6 servings
1/2 pound medium-sized noodles
1/2 pound ground beef
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic, minced
15 ounces ricotta cheese
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon dried minced onions
Dash garlic powder
2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
Dash black pepper
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
12 ounces frozen spinach, squeezed dry (optional)
26 ounces spaghetti sauce (Toth likes Prego)
1/2 pound mozzarella, shredded
Cooking spray
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Cook noodles according to package directions. Drain but do not rinse.
3. While the noodles are cooking, saute the ground beef in a frying pan. While it is cooking, add the oregano, kosher salt, pepper and garlic to the beef. Cook until it is browned. Drain fat, if necessary.
4. In a small bowl, stir together ricotta cheese, egg and dried onions, garlic powder, Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper. If using spinach, add to this mixture. Set aside.
5. To prepare ravioli casserole, spray a large casserole dish or a 9-by-13-inch pan with cooking spray.
6. Mix together spaghetti sauce, noodles. Place a layer of noodles on the bottom. Top with a layer of meat, then dollops of ricotta then mozzarella cheese. Repeat this until all your ingredients are gone. Make sure you have enough mozzarella cheese to cover the entire top since this will get hot and bubbly.
7. Bake for about 30 to 40 minutes or until heated through. Remove from the oven and let it sit for about 5 minutes before serving.

text: I just was at an early morning meeting, sitting around a table with about a dozen or so people, when one of those telltale "ping" noises went off to tell the ping-ee that her or his very smart pocket device had received some message. Instantly a dozen or so people, me among them, all reached for our pockets and purses to retrieve said devices to see which one of us was being notified that the world was coming to an end or whatever critically important message had landed. Watching this example of conditioning and response I thought to myself that, should he ever need a new career path, Steve Jobs could probably be one amazing dog trainer.

ADDISON COUNTY — Vermont State Police responded to a Monkton Road home in Monkton at just past midnight on Wednesday for a report of a family fight.
Troopers said that their investigation on the scene revealed that Layna Coursey, 20, assaulted a subject with whom she is in a domestic relationship. While being placed into custody, Coursey allegedly assaulted a trooper.
Police cited her for domestic assault and assault on a law enforcement officer and lodged her at the Chittenden County Correctional Center with bail set at $2,500.
BRISTOL — The town of Bristol will celebrate the 250th anniversary of the granting of its charter this summer and the 250th Anniversary Committee is looking for help ringing in the birthday with a new song.
The public is invited to enter submissions to Bristol's 250th Anniversary Celebration Song Contest. The winner will receive $100 cash prize, plus have their song performed at several upcoming Bristol events, including the debut at Pocock Rocks Music Festival and Street Fair on Saturday, June 16.
Two truths are all too often overshadowed in today's political discourse: Public service is a most honorable pursuit, and so is bipartisanship.
Here's U.S. Senator Olympia Snowe, R-Maine, explaining why she is not running for a fourth term for the Senate as had been expected. Snowe has been a moderate Republican voice and one of the few Republicans willing to cross party lines to forge a compromise. She laments the loss of bipartisanship in the Senate and in politics. As former U.S. Sen. James Jeffords, I-Vermont, did almost a decade ago, she is leaving her post discouraged by a party and a political system that seems to have lost its way. It's an informative and important piece to read.

Middlebury is a great place to live. It's a beautiful and safe community that nurtures our families. It is a wonderful place to raise children. We love our town and we're lucky to live here.
NEW HAVEN — When sculptor Dennis Sparling started work on his nine-foot-tall sculpture of Leonardo da Vinci, he didn't expect that one day he'd have to load the 600-pound behemoth onto a trailer and cart it around on a world tour. But, starting next month, Sparling and "Leo" will hit the road for the first leg of their journey.
For the New Haven artist, creating Leonardo has been more than a technical feat — though it did present challenges. Fabricating the sculpture was almost a manifesto.
VERGENNES — According to several sources, a Northlands Job Corps dormitory has been the scene of regular beatings given to new students by other students over at least the past six months, while at least some Northlands staff and supervisors are aware of and apparently have failed to take steps to halt the violence.
MIDDLEBURY — New scrutiny of Middlebury's financial records reveals that the town does not possess a $1.5 million surplus as previously announced by local officials in late January.

Would anyone care to comment on either/or the Rhode Island or Connecticut ( Hartford) flower shows? We have always gone to the Philadelphia Flower Show and are looking for a change this year.
Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
We went to the RI garden show last year and we are going again. I was pleasantly surprised. Do go in the beginning as I have gone to other shows toward the end of the show and the flowers were past their prime. I had also gone to the Philadelphia show the same year and I was more impressed with the RI show. Not as big but the displays were lovely and the lectures were very good. Lynne |
Boston is the only show in the same league as Philadelphia, in this part of the country. RI and CT are nice if you are close by but not worth going any distance for. |

Dear Theater Chains: Rejuvenate the Movie-Going Experience and Quit Complaining
Boiling Point By Robert Fure on June 4, 2012 | Comments (10)I'm not afraid of a little capitalism. Hey, we all embrace it, working every day for the man in the city, or stealing shit. Unless you're high on bath salts and living off the faces of hobos, you need money. People who have money want more money. Money makes the world go round. When people don't make the money they think they deserve, or the money they want, or they just think that more money would be better, they complain about it. Hollywood is full of whiny babies, whether it's studios, actors, directors, or theater chains. They're all obsessing over money. There are at least a dozen different boiling points that could be about money and who's crying the most, but this one points the finger at the theater chains.
Dead Geek Walking: Becoming a Zombie for Mondo's Dawn of the Dead Celebration
Features By Brian Salisbury on November 1, 2011 | Comments (1)It's rare that uttering the phrase, "we're watching The Exorcist" would be laden with arrogance. Prior to the inception of Mondo News, the indescribably cool Alamo Drafthouse offshoot and purveyor of unbelievable movie posters and tee-shirts, few situations would have arisen for those words to have adopted their arrogant new subtext. But that was before Mondo's Mystery Screenings turned everyone into detectives. The basic idea behind the Mondo Mystery Screening is that you buy a ticket for the screening of an undisclosed film; your admission also securing you an extremely limited-edition Mondo poster of said film. It's a bit of a gamble because you are paying top dollar for a poster sight-unseen not knowing A.) whether you'll like the poster or B.) whether you even like the film its celebrating. Mondo goes to impressive lengths to keep the showcased films and the corresponding posters hidden from the public until they've gathered at the Drafthouse. But this time around, Mondo Mystery Screening IX was taking place at an off-site location which, just days before the event, was revealed to be a church. Prior to that announcement, all we had to go on was that the screening was touted as the biggest event Mondo had ever conceived. Ravenously, we purchased our tickets and, upon hearing that the screening would be taking place at a church, found the words "we're watching The Exorcist" escaping our lips with misplaced self-satisfaction. So certain were we that we had decrypted the Mondo cipher that we completely […]

For the red/white sampler quilt I wanted the back to be mostly red, but didn't have enough of one color in my stash. So I put together some tube blocks, bordered with red and got it in the frame. This will be the first pieced back (other than a single seam) I have tried on the frame. Wish me luck.

Very cool. I didn't have any problem with my pieced blocks on the frame. Though yours has a definite 'straightness' to retain, I'm sure you'll load it just fine and it'll be no problem. |
- Posted by magothyrivergirl (My Page) on Mon, Sep 5, 11 at 8:33
I've actually found pieced backs very easy on the frame. As Jennifer said, you have to load it straight, but after that, I find it to be another tool in rolling and keeping the quilt straight and the back tension not pulled or distorted. I love the back - tube blocks are a great idea to add interest in the back - thank you! |

Looks very nice. It doesn't look at all like a "short of fabric" pieced back but like a clever plan. Lovely. |

Very clever and looks planned to me. Great job and I know you will do great quilting it. TFS. |
I love the two color tube squares. Who'd ever know how simple they are! As someone else said looks planned. |
It is quilted and ready for binding! It was much easier than I had feared. And the Voyager was very happy with her tension. I will post pictures when I get the binding on. It will be a few days, gotta work the next three. beverly |

I know it's early in the morning, but could someone explain the "tube" blocks? That's a new one to me. Teresa |
- Posted by magothyrivergirl (My Page) on Tue, Sep 6, 11 at 8:39
As I recall, one of her measurements was incorrect. The two pieces sewn into the tube must be the same width. This is the same method Cozy Quilts, Daniella Stout has many quick patterns and a ruler for this method. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Tube block
- Posted by lafonda_ranch (My Page) on Tue, Sep 6, 11 at 10:25
I couldn't remember what a tube block was either. It sure does look easy and saves time on the cutting table. Love the quilt, Beverly!! Robbi |
Wonderful idea Beverly!! You sure quilted it fast. I made a fall table runner and it turned out great (and fast). The Christmas one was horrible!!! This pattern has bias edges so I will starch the devil out of it if I use it again and not use sparkly fabric that doesn't iron well. The quilts from the pattern are very pretty too!!!! Rosa |

Hello Fernando and all,
So I am running the 2.6.14-0.10.rrt.rhfc4.ccrma kernel!
And rpmdevtools are going to make building the livna.org tools like
ndiswrapper really easy, so that is good. But yum can't find
kernel-devel! Where is the ccrma kernel-devel rpm?And where is the realtime kernel module?
Does the ccrma kernel not come with the lsm kernel module?
Modprobe realtime returns in error and in a quick search of
/lib/modules/2.6.14-0.10.rrt.rhfc4.ccrma I can't find realtime.koWhat does the ccrma kernel include? I see that PREEMPT comes up after
uname -ar so I guess ingo's spinlocking patches are included, right? I
guess I can just build the lsm module myself, perhaps as an rpm for
Of course I would need kernel-devel for that too...It is kewl though to get ccrma - the source of all good prepackaged
audio tools - and livna - the source of some code that contains some
non-gpl'd stuff (to use until linksys and ati release some opensource
drivers) - to play nice togeather though!Thanks again!

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Subject: BUDGET -- ICELAND: EU Membership
Icelanda**s Prime Minister, Johanna Sigurdardottir, said on April 26 that
she would strive to have Iceland apply for EU membership in July 2008.
Sigurdardottira**s Social Democrats and coalition partner Left-Green Party
won 34 out of 63 seats at the April 26 elections. Following the win,
Sigurdardottir stated that she would hold a referendum on EU membership
within 18 months and that a**it is very important that we apply

which ravaged this north Atlantic island economy. Historically reliant on
the fishing industry for income, Iceland moved into banking with earnest

banks became particularly adept at relying on the carry trade for capital.
Carry trade involves taking out loans in low interest rate countries --
such as Japan and Switzerland -- and investing the capital in countries
with a higher interest rate. Unfortunately the plan backfired in September
2008 when investors worldwide were forced to repay original yen and Swiss
franc loans while they still had cash on hand, causing money to flow out
of Iceland and thus destroying its banking industry by leaving its banks
on the hook for somewhere around $50-$60 billion, more than seven times
the countrya**s gross domestic product in 2007.
